Also, let me further point out this system was a 2kw system which isn't enough to fully be energy independent as a home owner. Sizes range in the 5kw to 8kw, at least in the USA. So, that would add additional money into the equation and only further emphasize my statement on 'that's exorbitant'. |

Commonest UK size for solar is currently 3-4kWp, which is plenty for household independence, and above 5 or 6 rare. Earlier systems were smaller as panels were costly. I think somewhere around 5 is the point an installation is considered commercial rather than domestic making larger even less attractive.
Exorbitant or not it pays based on UK electric prices and feed in tariffs.
